I agree Iluleah,

I've found out all sorts of things my parents, grandparents and living relatives wouldn't want me to know, and many things they still don;t know.

I found out that a GGrandfather had abandoned his wife and children (one of whom was my Grandfather) and went to the US, and boy was I angry.  But with my researchers head on I carried on seeking out all the information I could, and found that in his new life he was very kindly thought of by everyone who knew him. He was just a flawed human being like the rest of us.

Nowadays, if his marriage hadn't worked out he would have got divorced without the stigma of it, the kids would get child support and he would have contact with them.

It just shows how little right we have to judge our ancestors, as we don't live in their world with the cultural and social norms and mores of their time, or place.

Suspicions, Assumptions or Guessing in Family History and also not seeing actual documents (or not seeing images of documents), is absolutely NO good at all.

If there looks to be a Will, then that Will is a must see for me and others who have replied, a Will might contain vital information.

Hi Mark thank you for your reply,  however im not quite sure what assumptions you think im making or what documents iv not seen? the will is out there for every one to see! And looking at it given I know the family inside out, then I don't need to make assumptions about any thing yes my words were strong but truthful given the facts. Actually ordering the original document is not on my list of priorities at the moment. And when i first found the document I didn't just leave it there I did actually go and speak to a solicitor to get some advice and also spoke to some one who knew him very well so sorry but NO assumptions just pure facts!   But again thank you for all of your responses.
